News -Record means News -Leader. The Hohenzollerns and the Krupps. By Henry Dalby. The Krupp Company,. and the Prupp. family, have subscribed for $7,500,000 worth of the German war bonds. The Krupps, quite apart from the fact that the Kaiser is said to be a very large shareholder in the business, may be regarded as among the greatest in- spirations and supports of German militarism. • The industrial develop- ment and the commercial progress of (lerm)any wore the wonders of the world. In both manufactures and trade Great Britain was still consid- erably ahead, but the rapidity with which Germany was progressing on these lines was astounding. A strong Government working systematically with an intelligent educated and en- terprising people was in e fair' way to achieve unbounded prosperity) by the legitimate methods of fair com- petition and honest toil. Ships flying the flag of her mercantile mar- ine were seen on every sea, Lasa year there were 4,850 ships with a tonnage of 3,.153,72.1 flying the Ger- man mercantile flag. Today a con- siderable number of these are lying at the bottom of the sea ; hundreds have been captured and, condemned by English prize courts, and nearly all the others are bottled up in hone or neutral ports. Last year the Gellman intporLs amounted to $2,073,- 750,000, and the exports to $2,478,- 150,000. Today the trade import and export is the smallest in Europe, The urines and factories are practically shut down, because there are' few op- eratives to work theist, no markets open to them, and no means of Irens- portation, The farms /mist be going to ruin for want of men and Horses. All this devastation for the profit of the Krupps, for the gratification of a lot of swaggering military bullies who are a curse- to Europe, and most of all to their own country and for the glorification of a Soverign War Lord ev o, until a few days ago hugged the delusion that he actually was a heaven -born general 1 It is said that the Kaiser's desire to destroy Paris as Louvain was de- stroyed, amounts to, a'motomania. 13ut he would be twilling to, sacrifice Berlin, if he could only carry fireand Paris. r into 1 tis i1 c r 1' has sword oa e ctnut a 3 not spared the lines of his subjects why should he be deemed incapable of destroying their powerful city ?

'there is 111ueh that is good in the nation, and in order ,that that good may, be saved to the world it necessary to consign Garman militarism to the bottomless pit. It is impossible to altogether withhold sympathy from these bravo, conscientious, patriotic people ; who have been betrayed by their' leaders, who should have been their guides and ' protectors in the paths of peace. The defeat which seems inevitable, will cost them' dear, but not se much as victory,', would have cost.

Increasing' Live Stock Production, The outb reale of the,war in :bl r i > u of e and the consequent demand: which: is. naturally to be expected for increas- ed exports of meats, finds Canada in a very much ,denuded condition as re- gards li'r'e Stock, As a result of the removal of the American tariff on cattle a heavy export tradedcyoloped to the south. some districts iu eastern ,Canada, nearly everything ]tas been shipped out of the country, except dairy cows This export trader together ,with. many farmers sollin their' 3' g calves for veal, can have but one'' result in Canada, viz': a greater scarcity of meat than at present ex- ists, even in a normal market. The meat industry in Canada should not be allowed to dwindle -gather, the. production of hogs, sheep and cattle on Canadian farms should be greatly increased. To obtain this in- crease does not mean that farmers. should devote their whole attention to live 'stock. The majority of farm- ers will admit that with very little extraeffort and expense they could increase by several head the live stock on their farms without in any way interfering with their present system of farming. From reports to the Commission of Conservation, present conditions indicate a world-wide scarcity of live stock, with little likelihood of an overcrowded market for many years to come. To take advantage of this, farmers should save their: heifer calves to 'produce more cattle, while the others may be turned off, not as veal but as beet. Export stockmen advise that there are good times ahead for those rais- ing sheep. The high price of mutton and of wool and She comparative case with which a 'flocle of sheep niay be sustained -upon land which Is.oth- erwise unsuitable for agriculture, should suggest a great increase in the number of sheep raised by Can- adian farmers. Increased production in hogs can be brought about more (10101013, than in any' other class of live stock, and consequently should receive immed- iate attention. Animal production on the farm is desirable because it increases the fer- tility and crop -raising ability of the soil. Good prices are sure to be ob- tained for any surplus which farmers will have to sell on account of the inevitable shortage of supply result- ing from war conditions in Europe. These two conditions should 'be an incentive to Canadian farmers to in- crease their live stock production. modern ) A little foresight now, with no methods of feeding, will ' make in- creased production easily possible.— F. C N. Few consumers appreciate the fact That the quality of an egg can be m - em ately determined without breaking the shell. The process of candling eggs is not difficult and with a view of en'rouraging consumers generally in d practicecanln h the arttin of candling, the Poultry Division of the Lite Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture is distributing gratui- tously throughout the country in the sane manner as bulletinsare di stib- tLcd simple convenient cardboard egg candling appliances.

The size of the air Ball, the consistency of the albumen, the color. and, /nobility of the yolk and the general transpareucy of the whole egg; are the factors most generally recog- nicd as determining quality, The candling of eggs is not a dif- ficult ptcoss.

AND RETAIL MERCHANTS "MADE_I1i=CANADA POLICY, Patriotism and Self_Interest, Prompts Sale of Home Made Articles—Re. duce Unemployment and Charity Practical action tthe Quebec ra t by h Q branch of the Retail Merchants' AS - sedation of Canada was taken at a meeting held in. Montreal immediately after the outbreak of the war. The following ,letter from the Quebec Secretary of the Association, Mr. J. A. Beaudry, offers` good advice to the retailer and his customer alike. Every Canadian housewife should bear in mind this timely statement when she goes into the corner store to make her next purchase: For years past, millions ,of •dollars worth of goods have been imported in. to Canada from the countries involved in the war. These importations have now practically stopped, and may not be resumed for a very considerable period, The consequence 1s that the price of all imported.. goods has very materially increased, and will con- tlnue to increase in proportion to the excess of the demand upon the supply, and we 811011 not be surprised to see the supply completely exhausted' with. in a very short time. This fact is creating some concern in the minds of the public, who seem to believe that the merchant is responsible for each an increase: We think it would be advisable tor you to point out to your customers that in their purchases they should give preference to goods, ,made in Canada, which would .avoid paying such high prices, and would help to keep the Canadian factories busy, thereby giving employment to Can- adians who, at this particular time, are so much in need of earning as much as possible, To encourage home industries is a good policy at all times, but should be acted upon at this trying period for self-preservation, and we strongly suggest that you co-operate with your customers in this matter, thereby do- ing your share in educating the public to thie end, and by so doing, greatly oblige. Youre truly, The Retail Merchants' Association of Canada, Inca J.' A, Beaudry, Secretary for the Province of Rueben Every dollar the Canadian )roue°• holder spends for Canadian goods will loosen the demands from the unem- ployed for relief during the next few months. • GUARDING AN EMPEROR Great Precautions Taken to Prevent Harm to the Kaiser The following serves to show how the German Emperor is looked after, even when he travels a very short distance.: IIuring what (11d "not seen) to be a very perilous passage' from Hamburg to Ci'onberg on the part of the Kaiser trotting orderlies went up and down the road.
